Dear friends,

another issue to be finalized. The proposed TC fund procedure is

unanimously agreed upon with the exception of one issue, namely the

expenses for tc-chairs en working group chairs related to attending

business meetings. I would like to have a short final discussion on this

during our dinner. Please find attached a document that contains the

original proposal and (at the end) a proposal for a small revision. Steps

to be taken:

- final discussion during tc chair dinner

- (try to reach) agreement with Finance Committee

- formal decision in TA meeting

- inform EB and GA and request them to change the standing order supplement

8 accordingly.

You will not be surprised to learn that our treasurer is strongly opposing

this revision and also some former TC-chairs feel that this is not a good

procedure because of the danger that this will get out of hand and will
use

too much of our financial resources. I have received no comments yet from

the other members of the Finance Committee whom I also asked for their

views.

kind regards,

Leon
